2014 NISSAN QASHQAI heater

•The MOD system might detect flowing water
droplets on the camera lens, white smoke
from the exhaust, moving shadows, etc.
•The MOD system may not function properly
depending on the speed, direction, distance
or shape of the moving objects.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the parts
where the camera is installed, leaving it mis-
aligned or bent, the sensing zone may be al-
tered and the MOD system may not detect
objects properly.
•When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not display objects
clearly. This is not a malfunction.
Camera maintenance
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the camera, the
MOD system may not operate properly. Clean the
camera.

tion but the system should be inspected by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
When the [X] icon is displayed on the screen, the
camera image may be receiving temporary elec-
tronic disturbances from surrounding devices. This
will not hinder normal driving operation but the sys-
tem should be inspected by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop if it occurs frequently.
OPERATING TIPS
•When the view is switched, the display images
on the screen may be displayed with some de-
lay.
•When the temperature is extremely high or low,
the screen may not display objects clearly. This
is not a malfunction.

•When strong light shines directly on to the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly. This is
not a malfunction.
•The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
This is not a malfunction.
•The colours of objects on the Around View Moni-
tor may differ somewhat from the actual colour
of objects. This is not a malfunction.
•Objects on the monitor may not be clear and the
colour of the object may differ in a dark environ-
ment. This is not a malfunction.
•There may be differences in sharpness between
each camera view of the bird-eye view.
•If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the camera,
the Around View Monitor may not display ob-
jects clearly. Clean the camera.
•Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean
the camera. This will cause discoloration. To
clean the camera, wipe with a cloth that has
been dampened with a diluted mild cleaning
agent and then wipe with a dry cloth.
•Do not damage the camera because the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
•Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe off any
wax with a clean cloth that has been dampened
with a mild detergent diluted with water.
SIDE AND CENTRE VENTS

WARNING
•Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. On hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly fatal inju-
ries to people or animals.
•Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to be-
come stale and the windows to fog up. It is
recommended that you use the outside air
mode in cold weather to keep the windows
clear.
•Do not adjust the positioning of the heating/
ventilation or air conditioning controls while
driving.
NOTE
•Condensation forms inside the air condition-
ing unit when the air conditioner is running,
and is safely discharged underneath your ve-
hicle.
Traces of water on the ground are therefore
normal.
•Models with Stop/Start System:
Whilst the engine is stopped by the Stop/Start
System, selecting airflow to the front defog-
ger will cause the engine to be automatically
restarted.Whilst the engine is running, selecting airflow
to the front defogger will prevent the Stop/
Start System automatically stopping the en-
gine.
The Stop/Start System will prevent unneces-
sary fuel consumption and exhaust emis-
sions. When the engine is stopped by the
Stop/Start System heater and air conditioner
performance may be reduced. To keep full
heater and air conditioner performance, re-
start the engine by pressing the Stop/Start
System OFF switch, or by turning the ignition
switch.
For more information on the Stop/Start Sys-
tem, see “Stop/Start System (where fitted)”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section.
•Odours from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up inside the air conditioner unit
and it can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
•When parking, set the air recirculation mode
to off to allow fresh air flowing into the pas-
senger compartment. This should help reduc-
ing the odours inside the vehicle.

the ON position.
NOTE
The air conditioner cooling function operates only
when the engine is running and the fan is acti-
vated.
1. Press the air recirculation (
) button to the
“OFF” position.
2. Use the airflow control buttons for:
–Cooling: select the
orsetting.
–Heating: select the

position and the indicator light will come on.
Switch this mode on for dehumidified heating or
cooling.
NOTE
•The air conditioner mode is used to cool and
dehumidify. For quick cooling when the out-
side temperature is high, select the air recir-
culation mode position (
). Be sure to re-
turn to the outside air mode to avoid windows
from fogging-up and interior air from becom-
ing stale.
A visible mist may be seen coming from the
vents in hot, humid conditions as the air is
cooled rapidly this is not a malfunction.
•For quick heating, press the air recirculation
() button to the “ON” position. Be sure to
return to the “OFF” position for normal heat-
ing (no indicator light) in order to avoid win-
dow fog and stale interior.
Windscreen defogger
m(manual mode):
Use this mode for defogging the windscreen as fol-
lows:
1. Press the
button.
The system will set the fan speed to maximum.
Air circulation is cancelled, the airflow mode
and the air conditioner is activated automatically.
Air flows mainly from the defogger outlets.
2. Set the temperature control dial to the maximum
(HOT) position.
3. To switch off, press the
button to return to
the previous mode.
NOTE
•To quickly defrost/defog the windscreen, set
the fan speed to the maximum position.
•As soon as possible after the windscreen has
been cleared of ice or fog, press the wind-
screen defogger button.
•When the windscreen defogging mode is acti-
vated, the air conditioner will automatically
switch on at outside temperatures above –2°C
(28°F) and the air recirculation mode will be
switched off.

Operating tips
•In order to improve the heater operation, clear
any snow and ice from the wiper blade and air
inlet in front of the windscreen.
•After parking in the sun, drive for two or three
minutes with the windows open to vent hot air
from the passenger compartment. Then close
the windows to allow the acceleration of the air
conditioner’s cooling operation.
•Keep the windows closed while the air condi-
tioner is operating.
•The air conditioning system should be operated
for about 10 minutes, at least once a month. This
helps prevent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
•If the coolant temperature gauge exceeds the
“HOT” position, turn the air conditioner off. For
additional information, see “Engine overheat” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section.
•If the engine coolant reaches an extremely high
temperature, the air conditioning system will au-
tomatically turn off. This may happen for example
if the engine runs at idle speed for a long time on
a hot day.

Air conditioner filter (where fitted)
The air conditioning system is equipped with a filter
which collects dirt, pollen, dust, etc. To make sure
the air conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter regularly. For filter replace-
ment, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
The filter should be replaced if the airflow is ex-
tremely reduced or when the windows fog up
easily during air conditioning system operation.
Servicing air conditioner
The air conditioning system (where fitted) in your
NISSAN vehicle is charged with an environmentally
friendly refrigerant.
NISSAN Blue Citizenship
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are re-
quired when servicing your vehicle’s air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will cause
severe damage to the air conditioning system. See
“Capacities and recommended fuel/lubricants” in
the “9. Technical information” section of this manual.
A NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop will be able
to service the air conditioning system.
